Abstract BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising tool for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previous studies suggested that the co-culture of human MSCs with AD in an in vitro model reduced the expression of amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) in the medium as well as the overexpression of amyloid-beta (Aβ )-degrading enzymes such as neprilysin (NEP).MethodsIn this study, we focused on the role of primed MSCs (human Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) exposed to an AD cell line via a co-culture system) in reducing the levels of Aβ and inhibiting cell death. ResultsWe demonstrated that mouse groups treated with naïve MSCs and primed MSCs showed significant reductions in cell death, ubiquitin conjugate levels, and Aβ levels, but the effects were greater in primed MSCs. Also, mRNA sequencing data analysis indicated that high levels of TGF-β induced primed-MSCs. Furthermore, treatment with TGF-β reduced Aβ expression in an AD transgenic mouse model. ConclusionAD environmental preconditioning is a promising strategy to reduce cell death and ubiquitin conjugate levels and maintain the stemness of MSCs. Further, these data suggest that human WJ-MSCs exposed to an AD environment may represent a promising and novel therapy for AD.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising tool for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previous studies suggested that the coculture of human MSCs with AD in an in vitro model reduced the expression of amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) in the medium as well as the overexpression of amyloid-beta- (Aβ-) degrading enzymes such as neprilysin (NEP). We focused on the role of primed MSCs (human Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) exposed to an AD cell line via a coculture system) in reducing the levels of Aβ and inhibiting cell death. We demonstrated that mouse groups treated with naïve MSCs and primed MSCs showed significant reductions in cell death, ubiquitin conjugate levels, and Aβ levels, but the effects were greater in primed MSCs. Also, mRNA sequencing data analysis indicated that high levels of TGF-β induced primed-MSCs. Furthermore, treatment with TGF-β reduced Aβ expression in an AD transgenic mouse model. These results highlighted AD environmental preconditioning is a promising strategy to reduce cell death and ubiquitin conjugate levels and maintain the stemness of MSCs. Further, these data suggest that human WJ-MSCs exposed to an AD environment may represent a promising and novel therapy for AD.

Objective: We evaluated the effects of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells in a model of Alzheimer’s disease using serial [18F]Florbetaben positron emission tomography. Methods: 3xTg Alzheimer’s disease mice were treated with intravenously injected bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells, and animals without stem cell therapy were used as controls. Serial [18F]Florbetaben positron emission tomography was performed after therapy. The standardized uptake value ratio was measured as the cortex standardized uptake value divided by the cerebellum standardized uptake value. Memory function and histological changes were observed using the Barnes maze test and β-amyloid-reactive cells. Results: Standardized uptake value ratio decreased significantly from day 14 after stem cell administration in the bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells–treated group ( n = 28). In contrast, there was no change in the ratio in control mice ( n = 25) at any time point. In addition, mice that received bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy also exhibited significantly better memory function and less β-amyloid-immunopositive plaques compared to controls. Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of intravenously injected bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease was confirmed by β-amyloid positron emission tomography imaging, memory functional studies and histopathological evaluation.
